  • University of Waikato 2010 Purchasing Case Study FINAL
    University of Waikato Hamilton, New Zealand Purchasing: Fleet Vehicles SCHOOL University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand New Zealand is an English-speaking country with a population of approximately 4 million people. The Waikato River meanders through the green valleys of the Waikato region and the region’s largest city, Hamilton. Hamilton is a city of education and scientific research. During the summer months, the average maximum temperature ranges between 15-30º C (59-86 ºF), and in winter 5-15º C (41-59 º F). Forest parks and lakes can be found all over the Waikato region. From modest beginnings on what was largely farmland, the University of Waikato has grown to a student population of about 13,000 of whom more than 4,000 complete a qualification annually. Today the University has the largest campus site in New Zealand, and employs nearly 2,000 academic and support staff, making a significant contribution to the local and national economy.

The CDHB is responsible for promoting the reduction of adverse environmental effects on the health of people and communities and to improve, promote and protect their health pursuant to the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 and the Health Act 1956. 3. These statutory obligations are the responsibility of the Ministry of Health and, in the Canterbury District, are carried out under contract by Community and Public Health under Crown funding agreements on behalf of the Canterbury District Health Board. General comments 4. Health and wellbeing (overall quality of life) is influenced by a wide range of factors beyond the health sector. These influences can be described as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, and are impacted by environmental, social and behavioural factors. They are often referred to as the ‘social determinants of health1. Barton and Grant’s Health Map2 shows how various influences on health are complex and interlinked.

  • Comparison of Liquefaction-Induced Land Damage and Geomorphic Variability in Avonside, New Zealand
    6th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering 1-4 November 2015 Christchurch, New Zealand Comparison of Liquefaction-induced Land Damage and Geomorphic Variability in Avonside, New Zealand S.H. Bastin1, M.C. Quigley2, K. Bassett3 Abstract Field mapping, LiDAR, and aerial photography are used to map surface liquefaction-induced lateral spreading fissures and aligned sand blow vents formed during the 22 February 2011 Mw 6.2 Christchurch earthquake. Classification of the study area into 164 polygons enables comparison of liquefaction severity metrics including linear liquefaction feature density, ejecta surface area, and horizontal and vertical ground surface displacements with geomorphic metrics including distance from the downslope free-face, surface elevation, sediment type, and the liquefaction potential index (LPI). Preliminary analyses indicate (i) mean fissure density decreases with increasing distance from the free face at distances of 0-50 m, no relationship is observed at distances >50 m, (ii) mean horizontal ground displacement increases with increasing LPI, and (iii) vertical subsidence is invariant with elevation, implying that other factors (e.g. LPI) may contribute to a complex liquefaction strain field. The basic geology and geomorphology are derived from LiDAR and modern river morphology. Comparison of the liquefaction data with geomorphic mapping indicates geomorphic mapping may be applied to determine the likely distribution of sediments susceptible to liquefaction. Introduction Cyclic shearing of loosely consolidated, fluid saturated sediments during earthquake-induced ground motion results in excess pore-water pressures and reduced shear strength in the affected media. Liquefaction occurs as the grain arrangement collapses causing pore water pressures to exceed the confining pressure (Seed & Idriss, 1982; Idriss & Boulanger, 2008).
